Beware the observant

there's an ace up my sleeve
you thought
you think
the fight you started you won
but no love, I can, I will break you again
what you tried with mine
I already did with yours
but please, don't force my hand
don't peek
don't make me see the blues in your eyes again

Safety in Silence

I love the ones that talk
tell the stories that have been said before
again, again, each new face to hear its morals.
When they talk,
I don't. I smile. I listen.
The less I talk,
the safer my heart of hearts is.
Just the way I like it.
